Abstract In order to work effectively with families, you need to become well versed in child development. Every aspect of a worker’s job, from assessment to decision, is influenced by the needs of the child. When you are required to go into a family’s home to assess the safety of a child, you will need to understand the child’s developmental stage and how that stage may reduce or exacerbate current and future risk of maltreatment. When you are faced with the decision of whether to remove a child from a parent’s or caregiver’s home temporarily to assure child safety, you will need to weigh safety concerns against the potential consequences to the child of such removal. When you work toward helping a family assure child safety and well-being, you will need to assess and make efforts to meet any unmet needs related to the child’s level of development that may be contributing to the safety concerns. Finally, if you determine that a child must be removed from the home to assure safety, you will need to understand normal grief reactions and know how to help that child cope with separation and loss. Therefore, in order for you to work effectively with families and children, you will need to have a good working knowledge of child development.

There is no question that women, by population, commit fewer crimes than men. There were 113,000 female offenders incarcerated in state and federal facilities in 2010 compared to 1,500,000 male inmates.* Research in the area of female offenders who abuse children has been limited, and what there has been does not date back further than a couple of decades. In a 1996 article for the Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, Dr. Kathleen Faller noted that the bulk of existing information regarding female sex offenders comes from a handful of studies and descriptive summaries of women who have been formally identified as perpetrators of child sexual abuse (i.e., women convicted or incarcerated for sex offenses or those receiving treatment for sexual offending behavior) (Faller, 1996). Women have been associated for some time with cases of child physical abuse but not sexual abuse. For many years, it was widely assumed by professionals and the general public that women rarely, if ever, committed acts of sexual abuse against children (Wakefield & Underwager, 1991).
